Pete, Joining this conversation late - apologies if it has already been discussed. If you are proposing using a SIP response code 603 and with a header field Decline-Type: spam, the problem with this is that in SIP, failure responses (non-2xx) are delivered hop-by-hop and not end-to-end. This means that although the first hop (proxy) will get the Decline-Type:spam header field, any future hops will not. Instead, they will just get the 603. A different response code such as 666 will be conveyed end-to-end, so every proxy and the calling UA will get the semantics. - Alan - On Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 9:51 AM, Pete Resnick <presnick@qti.qualcomm.com> wrote: > Just replying to the points in your message (trimming as I go along): > > On 21 Mar 2017, at 11:17, Henning Schulzrinne wrote: > > My take of the discussion was that a simple mechanism that reflects >> plausible and likely UI approaches was preferable to a more complex >> mechanism. >> > > First, there is nothing complex about adding a header that says, > "Decline-Type: spam" to 603.
